Hi,

 

Somehow I missed that Jackson Autosport manufactured, and then quit manufacturing, a control arm brace.

 

I've seen a couple posts where people manufactured their own, but it was pretty short on details.

 

I was going to get a local metal shop to make me one. Does anyone know what type of metal I should request, and what the square tube wall thickness should be?

 

I saw where one guy crimped the ends on 1" round steel electrical conduit. That seems like it is way too thin and flexible to survive long term. But is that really all you need, and it would be safe?

 

I'm ignoring the possible concern about engine movement in a wreck for now while talking about safe. I just don't want it to break and pole vault my front end one day.

 

Thanks.
